This plagued me for the doggonest longest time. Medication made it more of a struggle in that I became more sugar/starch sensitive. Getting on the scale made it even worse!!!!!
Eventually I got on a medication that had less of an impact on metabolism (for me) but is in the same class. Seems alot of stuff about anxiety are mental, though and not so med related. Trying to Do more with gratitude, which is why I love your posts.

Thankfully, there are things in my life that mean more to me than eating, two of them R writing/working out and the top things my husband, my spiritual conditions and of course……my mental/physical state.

One time when I was depressed for 8 weeks I allowed myself to binge and gained 25 pounds it took nearly 2 years to lose!!!!

I am glad to hear of your two R’s! It sounds like you have had quite a journey to recovery and yet still persisting. You are right in that having many tools will see you make it through in a healthy way.

I am also grateful to hear the posts are a good resource for you! I love being bale to share many of the LifeTOOLS that have helped me navigate my recovery journey and be well today.

HEALTHY HABITS

Most of us don’t default to healthy habits. It takes planning and effort, and sometimes a surge of self-discipline, to eat right, exercise, get the sleep we need, and stay on top of work and life tasks. Establishing new habits, let alone purging bad ones, can require major effort, especially if we are also struggling with depression or anxiety. What are some good habits that you've formed and how did you build them?
